Shall we prepare something good for March 19th? If your dad is a football champion (or a fan) and defines himself as a "savory pie eater", I thought I'd dedicate a special appetizer to him for his party: puff pastry, cheese and vegetables in hand! We will prepare a nice (and very stylized) miniature of the soccer field!

Did you know that
In this recipe we do not suggest the use of eggs: in fact, to "bind" the filling, we recommend mixing the zucchini with spreadable cheese.- Roll out the puff pastry to form a rectangle, keeping about ¼ of the dough aside (for decorations).
- Line a rectangular pan with the puff pastry and stuff with Fontina cheese (or another stretched curd cheese). Spread a regular layer of courgettes. Using the scraps of puff pastry, make the lines of the football field (goals and midline).
- With olives and capers, decorate the football field by imitating the players.
- With the remaining puff pastry, finish the decoration with themed writings (eg.W the dad).
- Bake the savory pie in the oven at 180 ° C for about 30 minutes.
- Serve lukewarm.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Did you like the idea? You can take a cue from this savory cake to create a sponge cake based cake, filled as you like and covered with a base of cream and coconut colored green! The decorations of the football field can be made with cream or with chocolate glaze!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
The “Campo da Calcio” savory cake is a food that falls within the group of appetizers.
It has a significant energy supply, provided above all by lipids, followed by carbohydrates and finally by proteins.
The fatty acids are mainly unsaturated, the carbohydrates above all complex and the peptides of medium and high biological value.
Cholesterol is not excessive, while fiber is present in medium quantities.
This Salty Cake is a food that does not lend itself to all diets. It should be excluded from the anti-overweight diet and, in case of metabolic diseases, the average portion should be significantly reduced.
Containing gluten and lactose, it is not suitable for nutritional regimes against related food intolerances. It is instead appropriate to the vegetarian philosophy (as long as the cheeses are not produced with animal rennet), but not to the vegan one.
The average portion as an appetizer corresponds to about 40-60g (85-130kal).
